If you are removing ESET products from bootable media, you will be asked whether you want to remove ESET files from each available partition separately.

The /mode=offline parameter specifies the uninstallation mode for CD and USB drives.

The /mode=online parameter specifies hard disks. Very rarely, you may need to use the /mode=onlineparameter to force the ESET product file deletions if the ESET Uninstaller does not detect your bootable media automatically.

To remove all present antivirus installations without being prompted, run the uninstaller with the /force parameter.

If the ESET Uninstaller cannot be used successfully in Safe Mode, disable self-defense in your ESET product and restart your computer. Run the ESET Uninstaller again using the /nosafemode parameter.
